asymmetrical
thrust. Yaw forces must be balanced
with
the
rudder.
Loss of power on one engine also
reduces
prop wash
over the
wing.
In addition, yaw
affects the
lift
distribution
over the
wing
causing a
roll
toward the "dead"
engine. These roll forces
may be balanced by banking
slightly (up
to 5°) into
the operating engine.
Airspeed is the key to safe single
engine
operations.
For most light twins there is
an:

airspeed below

directional
control cannot be maintained
Vmca
-
airspeed
below
which
an
intentional engine cut should
never be made
Vsse
-
airspeed
that will give
the best single engine
rate-of-climb
(or the slowest
loss of altitude)
Vyse

airspeed that
will
give the
steepest angle-of-climb
with
one engine-out
